Story
**COCO - a victim of the war in Israel. Although outside our usual mission, we were compelled to help her to safety. Her rescuer in Israel sponsored Coco’s transportation costs from Israel to the US.
ID/NAME: DV24-016 / Coco
SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Female / 45 lbs / 1 year 10 months
BIRTH DATE: 8/11/23
BREED: Australian Shepherd Mix
VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER: Up-to-date vaccinations, spayed, and overall healthy
My name is Coco, and I'm eagerly waiting to find my forever family! Since I rely on my three legs, I tire out more quickly than other dogs, so I'll need a home where long hikes aren't expected. A house with a backyard and not too many stairs would be ideal for me. I'm generally quiet indoors and would love to play with resident dog(s) and enjoy mental stimulation puzzles to keep my mind active.
I'm a sweet and affectionate pup with a loyal and protective nature towards my loved ones. I recently moved from my foster home, where I lived happily with two other dogs and two cats. I was a wonderful houseguest and always respected belongings that weren't mine. Plus, I'm completely potty trained!
I recently graduated from a board-and-train program! I have learned to work on my impulse control and am eager to please my loved ones. I would be most happy in a home where I can continue to grow and thrive.
Background:
Coco and her siblings were born in Israel and were found huddled together, living in terror, shortly after the war started. A rescuer brought them into her home, where they found love and safety. The rescuer saw that Coco had been injured and took her to a vet, who determined that her left hind leg needed to be amputated. Thankfully, Coco has fully recovered and is very healthy.

DoVE Project operates a shelter in South Korea, where our dogs stay until they are matched with an adopter. In the US, our dogs stay in foster homes or in boarding, as we do not have a physical facility. These dogs are identified with "in LA" in their names.
Please note that we only adopt our pups in the Southern California area. Please check our website for more information regarding our adoption process, our mission, and our adoption application: https://www.dove-project.org/adoption-process
